Into the Blue

by Ben M. Baglio, Emma Brodie, Robert Goddard, Tony Horwitz · 2026

From the award‑winning author of *Songs in Ursa Major* comes an epic, decade‑spanning love story that blazes through the worlds of acting and comedy. In the summer of 2000, AJ Graves, a small‑town Massachusetts dreamer yearning to write for SNL, works at a video‑rental store where she meets Noah Drew, the enigmatic heir to a famous acting dynasty. Their friendship deepens into a cosmic bond as acting partners, until Noah vanishes without a word. Seven years later, in New York City, AJ is cast opposite Noah in an intergalactic TV production. As their on‑screen characters grow closer, the line between performance and reality blurs, forcing them to confront past secrets and a devastating truth that could tear their lives apart. Blending unforgettable characters, explosive chemistry, and heartbreaking emotion, *Into the Blue* asks what it means to diverge from the script and forge one’s own story.
